Pineiro wasn’t particularly sharp early, surrendering three runs in the first three innings, but the big Cardinal fourth inning – puntuated by back-to-back home runs by Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick (is there an internal MVP [...]

My apologies for the lack of posts the last few days, a spotty internet outage has kept me barely connected. Dear Russ Springer: Shane Victorino murdered that pitch the first time you threw it.
